shroud ourselves in the cosmos; let the music play

gave them impractical but very pretty embellishments hehe

additional notes below the cut:

For an extraction, Waxer had said.

In the cargo hold, apparently.

Obi-Wan approached the area, eyebrows rising to see Cody, of all people, pacing back and forth in a nervous manner. Once he was close enough, his commander gestured for Obi-Wan to follow him inside.

They walked by a handful of crates, gifts from the last planet, fresh fruit for their trip through space, until they reached the wall, where a small spot was visible. Getting closer, he could see exactly what it was.

“It’s just a common jumping spider,” Obi-Wan said, amused, even as Boil handed over a small, clear cup with a flimsy. There were communities on the holonet that would easily identify exactly where on what planet the little arachnid came from simply from the coloration and eye pattern, but Obi-Wan wasn’t one of those people, despite the fact that he had coaxed many of them from Qui-Gon’s planets and transferred them to the Temple gardens.

He was pretty sure this one simply came in with the crates of fruit.

Obi-Wan glanced at the cup, and at the wary looks his soldiers were giving the spider, and indulged them, bringing the cup up and carefully nudging the spider in with the flimsy, covering it once it was secure.

“Are you going to kill it?” Waxer asked. Despite his reaction, Waxer felt concerned in the Force.

“No, it’ll stay in my room until we get back to Coruscant,” Obi-Wan smiled. They still had a week until they got back, but he was sure he’ll be able to find a few fruit flies in the cargo hold, especially around the crates. And maybe twig or a leaf for the cup… “You can come visit it if you want. I know a bit about them.”

“Being desensitized to them would be beneficial,” Cody mumbled.

battlefield romance

obi wan calls cody dear all the time, is always getting him new foods and drinks to try, and even teaches him how to perform basic lightsaber moves since he ends up with the thing so often and might as well know how to use it if the need ever arises, and and neither of them thinks a thing of it. cody mentally catalogues and ranks all of obi wans favorite teas and how to make them, comes to be able to tell when obi wan needs food or rest or a medic and knows just what to say to get him to attend to it, and gets that godforsaken lightsaber clip on his belt and its just another day for them. and when people see all of this and point out that evidence is adding up to either one of them they both are completely genuine when they say, i have no idea what you’re talking about. no one else is doing these things with their general or marshal commander? laughable idea.

i think they would need that post war break in some form whether it follows order 66 or its an AU where it somehow is averted. i think they would need to be faced with the idea of living lives much further removed from each other to finally see it for themselves. and of course for so many reasons both of them would just bury it deep down in the absolute recesses of their heart and mind because it doesn’t matter, and it never has. and they would need to be literally forced back together to be able to address it. and things would have to be different. but once they do address it, it’s like… there’s no real nervousness. there’s hesitance, because once it’s said it can’t be unsaid, but. it’s just putting words to something that’s already there, that’s been there since the beginning. it just feels natural, not even like a next step, just… how it’s supposed to be. with each of them by the other’s side, whatever may come.

Tumblr may crush the quality of those, so I’m going to zoom in on a few details here—

He has individually rendered every discolored, separate tile on the facade of the Duomo in Florence…

And this relief of Isis is divided into discrete blocks of stone. He’s drawn every outline.

So, we now own a $7,500 kitty. Bertram should be coming home this weekend after Friday surgery for an intestinal blockage. Thankfully, no resection was needed - the offending hairballs were able to be squeezed back into the stomach and removed via an incision.

Luckily, we caught his behavior change very quickly and hopefully minimized damage. Crow noticed he didn't want his 3pm feeding on Thursday, and we saw he was getting progressively more withdrawn to where he was wanting to hide by 7pm. He had also puked up bile 4x. That's when I made the call to take him in. He got surgery less than 24hrs after that first symptom we saw.

Cats are pretty horribly engineered on the inside. Urinary and intestinal blockages can kill within 24-48 hrs. Missing just 3 days of meals can destroy the liver with a 90% mortality rate. The FIP genetic mutation can take months to trigger after an uneventful bout of kitty coronovirus and kill within days.

Cats are so good at hiding pain, so you must take other behavioral changes seriously - lethargy, vomiting, not eating, and anything else that feels "off". Lots of people think animals can just sleep off and tough out health issues; a cat will not recover on its own from any of the aforementioned issues, all (except FIP) which are common.

This little man is not good at regurgitating hairballs, so with his long fur, we're going to give him supplements + a teddy bear haircut. But first thing is his road to recovery.

For other cat owners, just always be aware if anything has changed your cat's routine. Regular feedings/treat times are a great way to monitor eating. When you clean the box, take note if it is suspiciously absent of pee or poop. And of course, if kitty is being weird, that can be a sign of a health emergency. Familiarize yourself at least with the signs of urinary and intestinal blockages, as these are the common problems that are ER emergencies.

These treatments are pricey, too. It is also worth researching pet insurance and Care Credit options now, before any crisis.

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado
